iPad Pass...
This week students are studying adjectives and the typical lesson involving holding up an object and having students give a corresponding describing word had students losing focus quickly! Our lesson today centered around adjectives to describe people. Students were divided into 2 small groups and were asked to sit in a circle with their iPads. Using Skitch, students took a picture of themselves to use as their background. Next students passed their iPads clockwise around the circle. Each time they got another iPad, they had to write 1-2 adjectives describing the person whose picture they were looking at. At the end, when students got their iPads back, not only had they explored new and exciting adjectives, but they also had a picture with lots of feel good words! What a great way to start the day!
